Switch cane, suburbia
Arundinaria tecta, or (evergreen) switch cane, classified under the tribe Arundinarieae, is one of three native species of bamboo found in North America.
Common in the bottomlands, the switch cane seen here is in a Jacksonville, NC neighborhood, living by a small rivulet that provides it with its required water intake. With its high water intake, switch cane is highly tolerant of flooding, and because of its presence of rhizomes, it is tolerant of fire as well.
